DICE's Album Tops ARIA's Australian Artist Chart

By Odessa Vance, November 14, 2026

DICE, the indie rock four piece from Perth, Australia, released I Thought The Altitude Would Make It Worth The View on July 31, 2026, per Apple Music. On Aug. 7, ARIA reported that the album entered at No. 1 on its Australian Artist Albums chart and at No. 13 on the main ARIA Albums chart. Their 2024 debut, Midnight Zoo, peaked at No. 27 on that main chart, ARIA noted.

DICE, "Echo" music video

Made in Hollywood

The band's publicist, Twnty Three, says the 10 track album was produced by Joe Chiccarelli, with additional production from Jay Watson of POND and Tame Impala, and recorded live at EastWest Studios in Hollywood. The description on the band's video for "Echo" says the record is out "via Tone City Records."

"I Thought The Altitude Would Make It Worth The View is all about finding liberation, releasing yourself from your past and running towards who you want to be as fast as you can," DICE said in the release. "It's definitely the most personal and freeing project we've made and hopefully people can find a bit of themselves in it."

On "Echo" and "Daydream," the release says, the band "deliberately stripped back the bells and whistles, eschewing keyboards to capture the kinetic spark of four people in a room."

Who DICE are

The lineup is Ben Hodge, Tom King, Regan Beazley and Sam Barrett-Lennard. Singles "Cooler," "Loose Change" and "Call Me For A Good Time" all landed on Apple before the album, and the release says the group has held a spot on triple j's Most Played Artists list for three straight years.

The band's North American dates were booked from Oct. 14 at Union Stage in Washington, D.C., to Nov. 7 at Last Exit Live in Phoenix, 17 shows in all. The release says DICE spent 2025 playing sold out shows in London, New York, Toronto, Amsterdam and Sydney, so the fall dates took the new record back to a U.S. audience the band had already started building.
